If you love the Mini and like a bit of music, you might want to get yourself booked into this year's Mini United event, which celebrates the Mini's 50th anniversary.
It takes place at Silverstone from 22nd to 24th May, offering everything the MIni fan could want, including the chance to drive Silverstone in your own Mini (or as a passenger in the MIni Challenge race), classic MIni racing, plenty of exhibitions, stunt shows, go-kart racing, driver training and if you like, a tour of the Mini factory at nearby Oxford. Loads of other Minis old and new too, which goes without saying.
Oh yes – music too, with Paul Weller headlining a line-up that also includes Calvin Harris and Twisted Wheel (the latter joining Weller on-stage to spin through a classic), along with plenty of other activities and a camping area that can take up to 10,000 tents. Tickets just £35 in advance for the weekend, under-14s go free.
